How does it compare with Capello’s?
As Griff highlighted, if he were English……
Capello won the nation league with four different clubs, however, considering they were Milan, Juve, Real Madrid and Roma, he’s never exactly had to work on a tight budget and construct a team out of nothing.
He’s never reached a European final, nor managed a national side before. He was sacked from Madrid for playing boring, uninspiring football. I’d say Hodgson’s pedigree suggests he has more potential to drag an underperforming team out of the doldrums.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying get rid of Capello, but if he went and an English manager were to brought in, I can’t see any further than Roy Hodgson.[/quote]
I want an English manager as much as the next man, but I think it would be daft to pay off Capello simply because of his nationality.Redknapp has expressed his interest.
How many English managers are there in the Premier League?There’s not a massive choice in the Premier League if it is to be an English manager:
Allardyce, Holloway, Hodgson, Hughton, Bruce, Redknapp, McCarthy (the Irishman from Barnsley)
I still think the FA will go down the English manager route just to appease the supporters and press.
What about Gary Megson…is he still looking for a job? :shock:

Wonder how he went after we dumped him.I do think the manager has a lot to do with it, but people must realise the common element amoungst the failures in the last 10 years are the players.
Remember when Maradona won the world cup almost single handed in 1990 !!! Why dont we have a player that can do that. Answer, because they are not as good as the media hype…..
the role of the manager at international level is overhyped. You can be the best coach in the world, but you need the players on your side and i haven’t seen that in the past few weeks with England whether its down to team selection, team line up announcements or the strict rules they were under at the hotel.
Compare it to the Argies who don’t have the best manager, but he motivates & inspires his team.
Id much rather see us spend at least half of Fabio’s 6 million on youth development.
The three form players at the end of last season were Hart, Dawson and A.Johnson yet none of them got so much as a kick.
The three form players at the end of last season were Joe Hart, Michael Dawson and Adam Johnson yet none of them got so much as a kick for England at this World Cup.I can’t see any of them having made a major difference. A kick up the backside and a shake up of players is probably what we need now especially with so much of our team over or approaching 30.
think i would give becks a chance,he knows the players as well as anyone,he showed passion during the short time in africa.He is also trying to keep football alive in the younger kids by opening these football centres up and down the country
It’s not just what they would have offered as individuals it’s the message their inclusion would have sent out.
Hart was outstanding yet left out because he was considered too young yet our team was taken apart by a German team containting much of their U21 squad.
A.Johnson was left out for similar reasons in addition to proving we are willing to play players out of position simply because they are a big name.
As for Dawson he should have been included on form alone.
Thats before you even look at recalling Carragher ahead of Jagielka or Scholes at the expense of J.Cole.

top and bottom of it his capello picked the wrong squad of players and by talking carragher out of retirement and trying to do the same with scholes,smells of desperation to me
Can I just check please?
We are seriously debating David Beckham as the next England manager, is that right? :shock:

yeah,he cant be no worse than bert and ern capello,who can go back to sesamie street or the muppet show
Griff – whilst I don’t think beckham would necessarily make a good England manager, I agree with No1’s point that you don’t have to have been a good club manager to be able to be a success as an international manager.
The international game is littered with managers who have been put in charge with little or no managerial experience – Maradona being the latest one & have made a good job of it.
Doesn’t mean they’ll make good club managers (look at the relative success Klinsman had with a dire German team as opposed to the flop he has been at club level so far).
It may therefore, if Capello is sacked, for the FA to look outside of someone who has been or is a success at club levelOne thing that does need addressing is the England players attitude at international level. They get everything on a plate for them at club level & train for a couple of hours a day that they expect all their whims to be catered to at international level too – then they moan that Eriksson was too relaxed, McLaren was too pally & now Capello is too strict. Apparently Capello may be forced out by player power – if I was the FA I’d tell the mainstay of the England side that the common denominator over the last 10 years or so has been them so if anyone goes is them. This is the manager, this is how he runs things, if you don’t like it then do one
Griff – whilst I don’t think beckham would necessarily make a good England manager, I agree with No1’s point that you don’t have to have been a good club manager to be able to be a success as an international manager.I know the point that was trying to be made but even so, if we want to make our game a complete laughing stock (more than it already is) then this would be a very good way to go about it. Beckham is no Maradona when it comes to role models, and I was quite a fan of Beckham, actually.
That said, having someone like Beckham in an assistant-type role to act as a go-between the manager and the [s:1q6mqhhp]children[/s:1q6mqhhp] players is a sensible ploy.
In terms of head coach, my opinion, for what it’s worth, is bring back Glen Hoddle.
look at the relative success Klinsman had with a dire German team as opposed to the flop he has been at club level so far).
Aye, but Klinnsmann had a certain Joachim Löw as his assistant, its all pretty well acknowledged in Germany that Klinsmann was just a face for the media, whilst much of the work (tactics etc) was done my Löw.
Don’t know about Beckham, it all seems a bit too daft for me. The point by Hoddle by Griff isn’t a bad one, although the media would be on his back from the start. I would keep Pearce in the set up. I wouldn’t mind Pearce having a go myself.
